Invalid URI when backslashes in path and not slashes
Hello,
I'm getting the error "<some_path> is NOT a valid URI".
An example path is: file:///c:\testing\bla.jpg .
It seems that when I try to replace all the '\' with '/' it works. Why a
path with backslashes isn't doesn't pass validation?
Thank you for the support.

Thank you for the help. I've done as you suggested.
Have a nice week!

I would suggest changing the schema to use xs:string rather than
xs:anyURI, which would make your document schema valid.
Changing Xerces-C may work for you, but noone else would be able to use
your schema - you'd essentially only have a proprietary in-house solution.

I've created a bug report:

Backslashes aren't allowed in URIs, however the XML schema type xs:anyURI
[1] allows much more than the URI RFC. Specifically it's lexical space is
defined as "finite-length character sequences which, when the algorithm
defined in Section 5.4 of [XML Linking Language] is applied to them, result
in strings which are legal URIs according to [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC
2732]." Backslashes are not interpreted as path separators but they are
allowed in xs:anyURI values. Xerces-J accepts "file:///c:\testing\bla.jpg"
as a valid xs:anyURI value. If Xerces-C rejects it then it has a bug.
Thanks.

This doesn't validate because backslashes aren't valid in URIs. It's
common to find URI implementations that accept backslashes and deal with
them, but that doesn't mean they are valid.
